"Being a software company itself, it should be hard to sell software to Microsoft. But that is exactly what ICONICS recently did." - ICONICS President & CEO Russ Agrusa

In the Spring 2014 issue of Touch,Solutions Smart Enough for Microsoft highlights the success in using ICONICS' AnalytiX® energy managment solutions to improve the energy efficiency of over one hundred Microsoft campus buildings. The discussion continues in Microsoft's Touch Partner Guide, Public Sector 2014-2017 Global Outlook, in Symphony of Software Saves Millions.

A small, covert team of engineers at Microsoft cast aside suggestions that the company spend US$60 million to turn its 500-acre headquarters into a smart campus to achieve energy savings and other efficiency gains. Instead, applying an ‘Internet of Things meets big data’ approach, the team invented a data-driven software solution based upon ICONICS COTS software that is slashing the cost of operating the campus’ 125 buildings, saving Microsoft millions of dollars.

The application has been so successful that the company is now helping building managers across the world deploy the same solution. And with commercial buildings consuming an estimated 40% of the world’s total energy, the potential is huge.

Using powerful S95-standard asset technology, Facility AnalytiX incorporates algorithms that weigh the probability of faults and advise management, operators and maintenance personnel of actions they can take to prevent equipment failures or excessive use of energy. Operators can be notified of faults via SMS, email, phone alerts or other popular multimedia methods.

Facility AnalytiX has a fast ROI and payback and continuously monitors for optimal performance, greatly reducing energy costs. Its unique fault viewer quickly identifies the most costly faults to reduce downtime and engineering.

Customize Facility AnalytiX to work for you. Create custom KPIs and visualization dashboards, including Microsoft SharePoint® portals, as well as specialized reports.
